Blackcock’s Feather

[Verse 1]
With a blackcock’s feather in a Highland bonnet
And an Andrea Ferrara on my hip
I bled my wound onto the sand
And wrote a letter from my broken hand

[Chorus 1]
Éithne
From a dream long ago
Oh Éithne
Through the field bonny goes

[Verse 2]
Your throat will feel this sword’s steel line
‘Cause Colm O’More was a friend of mine
To slice your throat, and hear the yell
I’d follow you to the gates of hell

[Chorus 2]
Éithne
From a dream long ago
Oh Éithne
Through the trees my bonny goes
Across the winds I used to know
She’ll be back like a boomerang, been hanging around with another man
Into my arms, bonny goes

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Tеn days we stayed inside thе Glen of Echoes
The nine finest days of all my life
And on the tenth day, Senan hobbled away
A bird sang above, and then flew away
